A 6,000-km undersea glass fiber phone line crosses the Atlantic ocean connecting the US and France. (a) How long does it take fo

r a message to transverse this link? (b) How long does it take for a message to travel from US to France by using a satellite link? The satellite is stationed about 22,000 miles above the earth between the US and France. (c) Will two people having a conversation across these two different links notice the travel delays?

Answer:

Explanation:

Message will travel through the fibre at the speed of 3 x 10⁸ m /s which is also the speed of light .

a ) Time for a message to travel from US to France by using glass fibre  link

time  = distance / speed

= 6000 x 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= .02 s .

b )

22000 miles = 1.6 x 22000

= 35200 km

Time for a message to travel from US to France by using a satellite link

time = distance / velocity

 distance = 2 x √ ( 35200² + 3000² )

=  2 x 35327 km

= .7 x 10⁸ m .

time = .7 x 10⁸ / 3 x 10⁸

= .233 s

c )

Difference of time = .233 - .02

= .213 which is more than 1/6 s for which effect of hearing stays in the brain , which is called persistence of vision .  So they will be heard as different sounds.

madam [21]

Answer:

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as  y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the  force is  F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of  k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m

Now the force is

F=kx\\ or

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m

So the distance is 0.602 m

To determine the location of the center of mass (or center of gravity) of a car, the car is drivenover a scale on a horizontal f
just olya [345]

Explanation:

It is given that,

When the front wheels are over the scale, the weight recorded by the scale is 5800 N, F₁ = 5800 N

When the rear wheels are over the scale, the scale reads 6500 N, F₂ = 6500

The distance between the front and rear wheels is measured to be 3.20 m, x₂ = 3.2 m

We need to find the location of center of mass behind the front wheels. Let the center of is located at a distance of x₁. Thus balancing the torques we get :

5800\times x_2=6500\times (3.2-x_2)

On solving the above equation we get, x₂ = 1.69 m

So, the center of mass is located at a distance of 1.69 meters behind the front wheels.
